KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday unveiled the first renderings of their new $3 billion domed stadium set to open in 2031.
The fully enclosed stadium will feature translucent panels on the ceiling with a symmetrical and curved exterior. It also will pay homage to Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs home since 1972, and will seat around 70,000 people with a scalloped upper deck in the end zones.

The Chiefs announced in late December that they were moving from their longtime home at Arrowhead Stadium across the Kansas-Missouri state line. The move came after Kansas lawmakers voted to allow the state to issue a little more than $2.4 billion in bonds to cover about 60% of the cost of the stadium, a new training facility and retail and entertainment space.
The stadium will be built in Kansas City, Kan., near Kansas Speedway and a retail district known as The Legends. The area is also the site of Sporting Park, home of MLS club Sporting Kansas City, and a minor-league baseball stadium.
